What does 20/20 vision really mean?

It's a term used to express average visual clarity or sharpness measured at a 20-foot distance. When your eyesight is 20/20, you have clear vision, but that doesn't mean you should skip your eye exam.

Your eye health can change without obvious signs. Maintain your regular eye exam schedule to monitor your health and keep your eyesight sharp.
